Rights on the tracker
by Alexis Métaireau Feb. 14, 2011

Feb. 14, 2011

Hi python-devs, I'm currently working on distutils2, and I'm trying to stop having different informations in different places. This means using the bugs.python.org bugtracker, instead of some weird TODO-lists in the bitbucket wiki. Two requests then: * Is it possible to give me the rights to edit the reports for the distutils2 component ? * Is it possible to automatically be in the noisy list for distutils2' bug reports ? Tarek co-opts this. My roundup username is "alexis". Thanks, Alex

API bloat
by Mark Shannon Feb. 11, 2011

Feb. 11, 2011

At sometime between versions 3.1 and the current version, 3.1.3, the API grew considerably. See http://docs.python.org/release/3.1/c-api/exceptions.html#exception-handling and http://docs.python.org/py3k/c-api/exceptions.html#exception-handling The Unicode Exception Objects section is new and seemingly redundant: http://docs.python.org/py3k/c-api/exceptions.html#unicode-exception-objects Should this be in the public API? Is there any kind of review system (like PEPs) for modifying the C API?… [View More]

Proposal / Questions about OrderedDict literals and/or faster C implementation
by Steve Goss Feb. 11, 2011

Feb. 11, 2011

I have a proposal for a literal syntax for OrderedDicts which is just replacing the braces with square brackets: ['a': 1,'b': 2] == OrderedDict([('a', 1),('b', 2)]) OrderedDict literals would follow: [x : x for x in foo()] == OrderedDict([(x,x) for x in foo()]) The rationale for the syntax is that it follows the set / list / dict precedent of curly braces for unordered collections, square brackets for ordered collections, and otherwise aping the normal dict syntax. OrderedDict is arguable … [View More]
